It has not been a week since Nicholas asked Nathan to attend the inauguration of his brother's engagement to the girl he loves.
Nathan Kink's foot has retraced on Indonesian earth after a few minutes ago the plane carrying him from England landed perfectly at Soekarno Hatta airport.
Nathan took a deep breath of the Indonesian air he so longed for.
Nathan intercepted a taxi and immediately said his destination was the house where he grew up with his two brothers.
Along the way to the house, Nathan never stopped looking to the right and to the left, because there have been many changes that he saw.
The journey only takes about an hour to get home, especially no traffic jams are too significant that Nathan felt along the way.
Nathan got out of the taxi and looked at the house with teary eyes. Although there are not many pleasant memories he felt in the house, but at least that house was once where he lived, spared from the heat and rain.
"This house hasn't changed too much" Nathan said as he looked around.
Nathan pressed the bell on the door and showed someone opening the door for him.
The task of the door seemed to rotate, a sign that someone would open the door for him.
Sure enough, the door seemed to open and gave rise to the figure of a brother who was shocked to see his presence.
"Nathan then? you're home, Dek?" asked Arsen, a little in disbelief.
"Yes, Brother!" nathan said briefly and clearly, while slipping a smile on his lips..
Arsen returned Nathan's smile and immediately hugged his sister.
"Let's go in!" Arsen opened the door wide giving Nathan his way.
Nathan came in and it was like that at the beginning. The young man circulated his gaze looking at all corners of the room.
"Why don't you go home to Om Rehan?" arsen continued back while twitching his forehead. The man was now standing behind Nathan.
"Why should I go there? my home is this" Nathan said straightforwardly.
"Although there is a mother, but my house is still here, right? or Brother, don't you like it when I get back here?"
"Who doesn't like it? it's just that brother is very happy," Arsen denied. "You're coming home in what order? why did it happen to coincide with the announcement of Nicholas and Renata's engagement tonight?" Arsen scrunched his forehead.
"Yes, because I really wanted to attend," Nathan's smile was clearly a little forced.
"Emm, are you okay to attend? you're not hurt?"
Nathan shook his head. "If you say you're not sick, it's hypocritical that I say no. But, isn't this my wish? so inevitably I have to hold my chest to accept the reality" Nathan said, smiling.
Arsen let out his breath quite heavily. The 27-year-old man smiled as he patted Nathan on the shoulder. "You do have a big heart, Dek" he said, honestly.
"Oh yes, Brother. Can I borrow your phone? I have not adjusted my number to the Indonesian number. I'm gonna call Nicholas" Nathan tried to divert the conversation.
"Now, put it on!" Arsen handed her phone.
Nathan then looked for Nicholas' number and when he met, he immediately contacted the older brother.
"Yes, Arsen!" nicholas' voice came from the other end of the phone.
"This is Nathan, Brother, not Brother Arsen,"
"Nathan then? are you in Indonesia?" the man at the other end sounded shocked.
"Yes. I'm at Arsen's house now. Later that night I will come to the inauguration of my brother's engagement with Renata" Nathan said.
I heard a breath from the end there. It seemed that Nicholas breathed a sigh of relief, hearing that Nathan had arrived in Indonesia.
"Of course I miss them, but my house is right here . but, Brother don't get me wrong just yet. It's not that I didn't think that Nicholas's brother's house wasn't my home, but that I grew up in this house, so I had to come back here" Nathan said, with extreme caution.
"Oh, alright if it's like that. Then, I'll send you the suit that you will wear to Arsen's house huh?"
"It doesn't seem necessary, brother." Nathan refused quickly. " I happen to have my own suit" Nathan continued, again.
"But you have to keep this suit, because by chance we all wear the same suit color, including Arsen. No way, are you wearing something different?"
"Oh, like that? yes, send it here, brother," concluded Nathan.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
The clock still shows at 1 p.m. So it's still waiting about six more hours, before the show starts. Nathan finally decides to visit the grave of his eldest brother, accompanied by Arsen.
Nathan crouched down and touched the tombstone that read his eldest brother's full name.
"Hi, Brother, how are you! I have come! thank you for the light you gave me? thanks to that light, I was able to achieve my dreams the way you wanted. Big brother happy right there?" nathan said, stroking Angga's tombstone.
"Sister, I miss you. I used to want to hug you so much, but now I'm so sad that I can only touch your tombstone" Nathan's eyes began to shed tears.
"Here you go, don't cry anymore! Brother is already happy in nature there," entertain Arsen while patting his sister's shoulder.
Nathan closed his eyes at a glance and sighed quite heavily. Then the man began to sprinkle flowers and water over the tomb of Angga.
"Now we'd better go home! next time we come here again" said Arsen as he passed away.
"Sister, we go home first! I promise that I'll come here more often, visit you," concluded Nathan, who then passed away following Arsen.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
"Sister, doesn't sister have a lover? don't you want to end your single life?" nathan asked as they were on their way home.
Instead of answering, Arsen chuckled at his sister's words.
"Why is my brother laughing? is there anything funny?" Nathan scrunched his forehead.
"I'm not ashamed to say it" said Arsen.
"Why should you be ashamed?" Nathan seems confused.
"Do you remember, Sita?" ask Arsen.
Nathan is seen trying to remember the name of the woman mentioned by his brother.
"Oh yeah, I remember that brother. Isn't he her lover, Angga?"
"Yes. But now she's my future wife,"
"Well, how could it be?" Nathan gasped in shock.
"Hmm, Big Brother didn't expect either. At first I just wanted to comfort him and keep him at the request of Brother Angga, but, as time went on, I fell in love with him, even though he was older than me. It turned out that my love was welcome even though it was very difficult at first to get his heart. Now, we plan to continue the relationship to the marriage stage, three months ahead. At first I felt like I was betraying Angga's brother, but finally I felt that in fact this had become our destiny, because the name of a mate, would not go anywhere," said Arsen at length.
"Well, if it's like that, I'll make sure that all the wedding costs brother, I'm responsible," Nathan said, unable to hide his happiness.
"No need! you forgot who Brother is? I already have a sizeable income and can give her a lavish wedding" replied Arsen.
"I know that. It's not that I want to demean big brother, but allow me to keep bearing all the expenses of your wedding,".
